"Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed," William Blake declared, prompting a triumphant post-Renaissance return of the nude in Western art and, some centuries later, serving as a happy catalyst for photographer Marc Baptiste. His latest book, Marc Baptiste Nudes (Universe; $45), is inspired by innocence, and captures achingly beautiful moments with women who might live up to the theme if they didn't seem so at ease with their allure. Here Baptiste talks to Men's Vogue about the way to earn a woman's trust, why eyes say more than flesh, and the irresistible mix of softness and strength.

- amber valletta
- Catching up with the Oklahoma native at Shutters Hotel on the Beach in Santa Monica, her adopted hometown of the past six years, it becomes apparent that her life revolves around her husband, Chip McCaw, the former professional volleyball player whom she married in 2003, and their six-year-old son, Auden. I can't help but ask if Chip was starstruck when they first met. 'He didn't even know who I was,' she tells me. 'He was like, 'We knew Cindy Crawford, but not really you.' Thanks!" Valletta lets loose her easy, seductively goofy laugh.—From the March/April 2007 issue.

- francesco vezzoli's caligula
"The original 1979 Caligula, written by Gore Vidal and produced by Bob Guccione of Penthouse fame, was disowned, at one time or another, by nearly all involved: Vidal and Guccione battled on the set; then Guccione fired the director, Tinto Brass, and inserted reams of hard-core sex. 'I was fascinated by this project that, for me, was a metaphor for creative conflict,' Vezzoli says of the Guccione-Vidal dust-up. 'On the one side, you have a pornographer turned producer. On the other, the greatest living writer.' It seemed like the perfect vehicle for a trailer."—From the September/October 2006 issue.

- Even when the 24 star and rodeo champion (that's right—rodeo champion) relaxes on the ranch, the intensity hardly wanes. As co-star Julian Sands says, Sutherland "keeps things incredibly raw."

- peter beard: photos
- "Few artists have enjoyed lives as full and careers as long-lived as Peter Beard's. For decades the 68-year-old photographer and writer has documented his own and his friends' earthly and artistic adventures, while passionately chronicling the vanishing wildlife of Kenya, his second home. And always, he kept journals. Rhinos, giraffes, crocodiles, and other totemic creatures appear again and again in his collages, often—unsurprisingly, considering the arc of the man's life—alongside images of impossibly beautiful women and the likes of Warhol, Dali, and the Rolling Stones."

- roger federer
- "You'd never guess from meeting him on vacation in Dubai, still less from watching him play tennis, but Roger Federer, at 25, has a problem. The number one player in the world for more than three years is currently forced to ask himself a question that few have ever had to confront: How do you reveal the perfection of your game when there is no one around to push you to your limits? The very greatest have always been shown in a rivalry worthy of the name: Ali had Frazier, Sampras had Agassi, Woods is lucky to now have Mickelson. Such is Federer's domination of tennis, however, that he seems increasingly desperate to discover a nemesis. Legends, as he knows, are not created by statistics."—From the May/June 2007 issue.

- mona kuhn: evidence
- "In her effort to both capture and add another layer to what it really means to be human, Kuhn focuses on the naked human body. Evidence, a chronicle of a dozen years photographing friends at a nudist colony in southern France, is Kuhn's quiet, chiaroscuro manifesto, in which the male and female forms assume a near-totemic quality. Subtle references to revered works of Western art firmly ground Kuhn's work in the canon ('Familiar,' at right, pays tribute to Ingres, among others), while her palette of glowing skin and deep, suggestive shadows echoes Old Masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer."
